In the Cathedral Library and Archives, just metres from the site of Becket’s murder in the North West Transept, experts from universities, museums and Canterbury heritage organisations gathered to discuss the saint’s life and cult.

The Work of Art – Material and Technology in Sources and Workshop Practice The variety of traditional sources poses a challenge to accessing practical knowledge in historical workshops.

Does the source result from hands-on experience, doesContinue reading “CONF: WerkStattWissen – The Work of Art (Bern, 31 May – 2 Jun 17)”
